If the red lamp light is flickering quickly:

• Check that the cover over the lamp is correctly installed and fully attached.

Start-up problems

If no lights or sounds turn on:

• Be sure that the power cable is securely connected to the projector and the other end is

plugged into an outlet with power.

• Press the power button again.

• Unplug the power cord for 15 seconds, then plug it in and press the power button

again.

Picture problems

If a “scanning” or “waiting” message is displayed on a blank screen:

• Press the source button on the projector or remote control one or more times until the

correct source name is selected.

• Be sure the external source is turned on and connected.

• For a computer connection, ensure your notebook computer’s external video port is

turned on. Refer to the computer manual. On some notebooks, for example, press the

F

N

+F4 or F

N

+F5 function keys to turn on the external video port.

If the wrong input source is displayed:

• Press the source button on the projector or the remote control one or more times to select

another active input source.

If the image is out of focus:

• Be sure the lens cover is removed.

• While displaying the on-screen menu, adjust the focus ring. (The image size should not

change; if it does, you are adjusting the zoom, not the focus.)

• Ensure the projection screen is 1.5 to 10 m (5 to 33 ft) from the projector.

• Check the projection lens to see if it needs cleaning.

• For a computer connection, set the display resolution as the computer to the same

resolution as the projector, 1024 × 768 (see “Specifications” on page 55). If the

computer has multiple monitors, adjust the resolution of the monitor assigned to the

projector.

• For a computer connected to the S-video port, the picture cannot be as high resolution

as what you see on the computer display.
